Funds in WEX are lost. They tried sending users balances over to Binance and go caught. Now their funds are frozen on Binance and users will not see their balances again..
https://www.ccn.com/binance-freezes-wex-accounts-caught-moving-possibly-stolen-funds/Depends on whether someone honest salvages the database and Binance catch enough money. I must say I'm surprised it's wound up like this. BTC-e could've simply buggered off. I guess that adds some credence to the original guy saying he's somehow lost control of the exchange.
i don't think the original admins ever intended to exit scam, hence why they refunded a majority of customer losses and re-launched the site. i don't think they ran wex.nz honestly for almost a year and repaid debt tokens just so they could exit scam.
that's why i tend to believe the words of dmitry vasiliev as well. there was a russian language article a couple months back in which he stated that all documents transferring ownership were signed and sealed. but the change was never registered with the singaporean authorities. and then withdrawals were frozen. it makes me wonder if vasiliev and others gave up wex.nz's crypto wallets under duress, especially when you consider who wex was supposedly sold to---ukrainian militants.
